僕の言葉で lyrics with English translation

外灯が夕闇彩って

The streetlights paint the dusk

進まない帰り道を急かす

Hurrying down a return path that won't progress

震える後ろ姿 どうして僕は

Your trembling silhouette, why is it that I

あんな事言えちゃったんだろう

Could say such things after all?

ふあふあ この想いを

Fluffy, fluffy, these feelings of mine

全部ジップして届けられたらなぁ

If only I could zip them all up and send them to you

ねぇ、長く傍に居すぎて いまさら

Hey, after being by your side for so long, now it's too late

素直になれない時は増えるけど

Though the times when I can't be honest are increasing

踏み込んだ足をたくましく鳴らせたら

If I could stomp my feet firmly down the path I’ve stepped on

「ごめんね」ってね、今日はうまく言えるかな

I wonder if I can say 'I'm sorry' well today?

あなたに手を引かれ歩いた

You led me by the hand as we walked

懐かしい 家に続く遊歩道

Down the path that leads to the nostalgic home

伸びてる すぐ目の前の影に向けて

Reaching out towards the shadow right before my eyes

一人で そっとシミュレーション

Alone, I quietly run a simulation

優しく「帰って来たの?」

Gently you ask, 'Have you come back?'

きっとあなたは そうふるまうでしょ?

Surely you'll act just like that, won't you?

埃まみれの思い出 あなたは

Dust-covered memories, that's you

いつでも笑って ごまかしちゃうから

Always smiling, you cover it all up

躊躇った台詞 飲み込んだ弱い僕は

Swallowing my hesitant lines, the weak me

曖昧重ねて 逃げ出したまま

Ambiguity piled up, still running away

「うまく言わなくちゃ」

I have to say it right

過去はすぐ 弱気にさせるけど

The past can quickly make me feel weak

シンプルにね 大事な一つなら

If it's just one important thing, simply put,

ちゃんと目を見て伝えられそうかな

I wonder if I can convey it by looking you in the eye

そう 寂しい夜に光が差すような

Yes, like the light breaking through a lonely night

気のきいたプレゼント あげられないけど

I can't give you a clever gift but

おんぼろで小さな僕の灯火が

My small, shabby flame

あなたの笑顔を照らせるように

I hope it can illuminate your smile

踏み込んだ足をたくましく鳴らせたら

If I can stomp my feet boldly with confidence,

不器用な想いちょっと おみやげにしよう

Let’s turn this clumsy feeling into a little souvenir

僕の言葉で

In my words
